PHP 5.3

All of our servers (except Chilisoft ASP servers) support PHP 5.3. PHP 5.3 may need to be enabled on an account before it can be utilized. Please see the instructions below for your specific hosting plan.

Script Compatibility

Before switching to PHP 5.3, be aware of backwards compatibility issues with scripts; Older PHP coding may not be compatible with newer versions of PHP. Using PHP 5.3 will break any sites requiring Zend or ionCube that were encoded with PHP 5.2. We recommend checking with the application developer for a 5.3 version.

Custom php.ini Compatibility

If you are using a custom php.ini file that references PHP modules that are not available with PHP 5.3, your site may not work. Either remove the custom php.ini file (which will cause the server to use the default php.ini file for PHP 5.3), or create a php.ini file that is compatible with PHP 5.3.

PHP 5.3 for Shared and Reseller Accounts

For Shared and Reseller accounts which still use PHP 5.2 as the default, you can use an upgraded version of PHP by navigating to the PHP Configuration icon in the Advanced section of your cPanel. For additional information regarding this plugin please refer to the following article:
